Easy Sesame Chicken Recipe
You know that we love an easy recipe here at iSaveA2Z. So this Easy Sesame Chicken Recipe is right up our alley! Since we have been trying to make healthier food choices, we have been eating a lot of dishes with lean meat. In other words….A LOT of chicken. But I hate feeling like we are having the same thing all the time. I know this may be shocking to some people, but my kids have never actually even had sesame chicken before! I thought this would be the perfect time to try it out.
